With such limited depth, the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team has employed an all-hands-on-deck approach.
For Tuesday night’s District 3A-9 game versus Holliday, it was Addy Cook’s time to shine as she poured in a game-high 20 points to go with a team-best eight rebounds in a 57-39 victory over Holliday.
“We established our inside game,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “Holliday was playing a zone. Addy was a presence in the paint, and she finished her shots. I was glad to see us get her the basketball.”
Cook has been working on her post game this season. In this game, she canned 8-of-16 field goals and added 4-of-6 from the free-throw stripe.
Taylor Martin also is playing more minutes, and she contributed seven points off the bench – including a pair of successful 3-pointers.
“Taylor shot the ball well,” Davis-Pastusek said, “and she answered the call for us.” Read more in the Jan. 30 Bowie News.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
